Conceptual Process Engineering and Design

Superior design requires superior Conceptual Engineering. The Conceptual Engineering phase of process engineering projects determines most of the ultimate operability, maintainability, reliability, capacity, and efficiency of the final process system. Integrated Technologies, Inc.’s (ITI) process engineering approach assures that environmental, health, and safety performance and efficient process flow are also designed in during the conceptual engineering phase. Superior layout design is essential to efficient process flow. ITI has been designing lean and green processes for over 28 years. Conceptual Process Engineering is both a sequential and an iterative process. ITI’s design methodology assures that the basis of design is well documented and that all stakeholders have signed off on process requirements and project planning. Projects often include cost estimating and logistical (detailed design, procurement, construction, start-up, commissioning, and training) planning. ITI’s sequential and iterative design process facilitates visualization and evaluation of alternative process designs and scenarios. Our Conceptual Process Engineering and Design projects normally include six integrated steps:

Step One: Define the project objectives in terms of problems or needs. The project definition should include review and documentation of budget and schedule constraints.
